Hi
I had an accident like 15yrs ago, since then I have a loose tooth and a bleeding gum, because of that I don't brush regularly sometimes I don't even brush for a week. How much harm have I caused to myself and that this make me sick?

Hello,
You seem to have neglected your dental health for a long time.Looseness of teeth can be caused by secondary trauma, as a result of bacterial plaque-induced periodontal disease. Treatment involves treating the cause and saving the tooth if possible. If the tooth has been fractured by any injury, the dentist may perform a root canal to prevent infection and then treat the loose tooth. Bleeding and swollen gums could be due to bacteria or a lack of a certain vitamin that can lead to swollen gums,gingivitis, scurvy, periodontitis etc. In gingivitis there are swollen gums, bad breath, easily bleeding of the gums during flossing or brushing and gums may appear red-colored. Scurvy can lead to swollen bleeding gums, weakness, joint pains and muscle pains. In periodontitis there is soft tissue and bone deterioration with tender swollen gums. These are only few possibilities. For exact diagnosis and treatment a dental examination is necessary. Do keep me posted.
Best luck and take care!
